Griff really had no other option here other than to let him complete the catch & then touch him so he’s down. He had no shot at hitting him & not getting a penalty/fine/suspension because the guy was already on the ground, although not yet down. The play did look bad, but when the guy goes to the ground how do you hit him low?

He went out of his way, the NFL got this one right.

Griff was trying to go low (which is what you’re supposed to do these days) and Rivera fell forward/went low too. What should a defender do in that situation, skip over the offensive player?

I also think it’s funny/sad that Michael Griffin, quite possibly THE softest safety in the league is a “repeat offender” under the new rules.
